I have an ability that shoots a missile in the target direction. Has a working Visual Quad actor set up.

http://puu.sh/7aEiF.jpg

Basically im about to make an ability that shoots 3 skillshots, 1 in the target direction, and 2 more at + and - 45 Degrees from the center skillshot.

How could I set up an actor that will accurately do this?

To clarify, I basically want to make a pre-targeting skillshot splat that is offset by a certain angle from the mouse direction.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

JademusSreg wrote up a solution to my problem. Using this actor XML.

<!--
    To test these, add them to your actor XML. In game, use command
        makeunit CreepTower
    and use its creep spray ability. NOTE: this assumes SwarmCampaign dependency.
-->
<!-- We need these siteops for the 45deg rotations -->
    <CActorSiteOpRotationExplicit id="SOp45">
        <Forward value="0.500000,-1.000000,0.000000"/>
        <IsLocal value="1"/>
    </CActorSiteOpRotationExplicit>
    <CActorSiteOpRotationExplicit id="SOpN45">
        <Forward value="-0.500000,-1.000000,0.000000"/>
        <IsLocal value="1"/>
    </CActorSiteOpRotationExplicit>
<!-- Here's a modified quad actor I used in my demo, because lazy. -->
    <CActorQuad id="CreepSprayGuide" abil="DigesterCreepSpray">

        <On Terms="ActorOrphan" Send="Destroy"/>

        <LaunchActor value="ZergGuideVisualQuadLaunch"/>
        <CenterActor value="ZergGuideVisualQuadCenter"/>
        <ImpactActor value="ZergGuideVisualQuadImpact"/>
        <Quad value="-0.500000,-1.000000,0.500000,0.000000"/>
        <Height value="29.000000"/>
        <Width value="4.000000"/>
    </CActorQuad>

Works Perfectly!

The XML code above contains an example that can be found on the Creeptower unit in game (assuming you have the HOTS dependency)
